Agile, Megaprojects, Social Media: Congress Has It Covered

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Project managers can pick up tips on everything from cross-cultural teams to the fine art of using Twitter at PMI Global Congress 2009--North America, 10-13 October in Orlando.

And this year, attendees will have even more learning opportunities with the addition of Sunday morning presentations. One of the sessions--Why Should You Care about Social Media?--will be hosted by PMI's own New Media Council. Be prepared to discuss all things Twitter, Yammer and LinkedIn.

Congress-goers can also attend presentations by PMI's Project of the Year finalists and others on agile, communication, the economic crisis and innovation.

"You get to see presentations that you can apply to your [PMI] community or your job," says Teresa Colon, PMP--a member of the PMI Congress Project Action Team (CoPAT). A veteran congress-attendee since 2004, Ms. Colon says she keeps going back for the networking and the learning opportunities.

Advanced registration saves you money.
